HC orders providing proper treatment to Khaleda

The High Court (HC) on Monday asked the authorities concerned to provide proper treatment to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, if necessary, as per the recommendations of the medical board formed for her treatment.

The HC bench of Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif and Justice Razik Al Jalil passed the order after hearing a writ petition filed challenging the government's decision to send the BNP chief back to jail from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital (BSMMU) and seeking her readmission.

Additional Attorney General Murad Reza said it is clear following the HC order that whenever Khaleda needs medical treatment, the jail authorities will send her to the BSMMU as per the recommendations of the medical board, reports UNB.

Besides, the medical board can talk to her in jail about her treatment, he added.

On Sunday, the High Court fixed Monday to deliver its order on the writ.
